unfinished foundation wall
Hi Ted - I'm not sure about this, but it seems to me a Rohsohle is an unfinished foundation wall - unfinished in the sense that a sill plate might be added later on, which would increase the height.

Summary: Foundation walls are one of the most important structural elements of your home. They must be strong and supported well before you place vast amounts of heavy soil against them. The backfill soil can quickly crack or push in a concrete wall that is not strong enough to resist the force of the dirt.
